OAuth 2.0 Settings (SMTP)
Modern authentication (OAuth 2.0 token-based authorization) is currently used by many well-known e-mail systems such as Gmail, Microsoft (Office 365, Hotmail, Outlook.com), Yahoo! and is intended to replace Basic authentication. OAuth 2.0 support is added in Fax Voip T.38 Console version 9.3.1.
On this page, you can specify OAuth 2.0 settings that will be used when sending e-mails via the SMTP server, see also SMTP Settings chapter of this user manual. Use <Get Refresh Token> button to send Authorization Request, confirm your e-mail account details and to generate Refresh Token (the procedure runs in a separate web browser window and requires user interaction). The Refresh Token has a long lifetime (usually one year) and is used to automatically obtain Access Token at the time of sending or receiving e-mail messages (without user interaction). To use the same e-mail account for both outgoing and incoming e-mail messages, select the Use this OAuth 2.0 configuration for POP3 / IMAP checkbox. After configuring the OAuth 2.0 settings and generating Refresh Token, click <Apply> button to save your settings.

Click to load the predefined settings selected from the dropdown list on the right. As an 'OAuth 2.0 Application', we mainly used Client ID / Client Secret pairs imported from the Mozilla Thunderbird e-mail client. The following profiles (tested with Fax Voip T.38 Console) can be selected:

The address of authorization endpoint that accepts an authentication request. The authorization endpoint is used for authentication and authorization and returns an authorization grant to the client application.
The address of token endpoint that is used by client application to exchange an authorization grant or refresh token for an access token.
A space-separated list of scopes. OAuth 2.0 scopes provide a way to limit the amount of access that is granted to an access token.
The public identifier for the client application.
Used to authenticate the identity of the application to the service API when the application requests access to a user account. Can be an empty string for a "public" application.
The callback address to which authentication responses can be sent and received by application. It must match one of the redirect URIs the developer registered when creating the application, and the authorization server should reject the request if it does not match.
The e-mail address associated with the user account.
The Refresh Token is used to automatically obtain Access Token at the time of sending or receiving e-mail messages (without user interaction). The Refresh Token is long-lived (usually one year). To generate Refresh Token, use <Get Refresh Token> button.
Use this button to send Authorization Request, confirm your e-mail account details and to generate Refresh Token (the procedure runs in a separate web browser window and requires user interaction).
Choose one of the options below. We offer 3 different methods as depending on the e-mail OAuth 2.0 server and Redirect URI parameter (registered by the developer when creating the application), some of them may not work.
Internet Explorer
If this option is selected, the InternetExplorer object (Windows Internet Explorer web browser) is used to process the authorization request. This option works with all e-mail OAuth 2.0 providers we have tested. Note that this option also works in Windows 11, where Microsoft locked Internet Explorer browser.
WebBrowser (.Net)
If this option is selected, the WebBrowser Control (.NET Framework) is used to process the authorization request. Note that this option does not work with Gmail (unsupported browser error).
Default Browser
If this option is selected, the default web browser is used to process the authorization request. Please note that this option only works with applications for which Redirect URI = http://127.0.0.1 is explicitly specified by the developer. Also, this uses a random unused port, which is not always supported by the e-mail OAuth 2.0 provider. The browser window must be manually closed by the user. In our tests, this only worked with Gmail and Microsoft (Microsoft / Office 365 / Hotmail / Outlook.com (MS Oauth Test) profile). Tested with Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer as default web browsers.
